Edit the /etc/inittab file as follows, changing the line
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:
There will be a block of comments just above this entry defining the
various runlevels and what they do.
To change without rebooting, issue the following command
telinit 5
All the above should be done as root.
